5 Benefits Of Growing Your Own Food

There are many benefits to starting a garden and growing your own food. This is a great way to relax, spend time with friends and family, and save money. However, it can be very expensive. Here are some tips to help you save money when you’re growing your own food.

1) Growing your own vegetables in your own garden is a great way of being more self-sufficient. You’ll be surprised how much you can grow in a small space, even a balcony in a city apartment can be turned into a decent growing space with the right plan.

You can have something as small as a container garden or raised beds, to a more traditional garden, as well as both of these options if you have the space and time to care for them.

2) Grow things that take longer to harvest, like onions. These are the more valuable things to grow and will require the more time and effort. You will be able to harvest the onions earlier and get more value from them. This will allow you to have a more abundant garden.

3) Store your food in your garage, basement or even a traditional root cellar if you have the space and budget for it.

You can also use an old freezer as a makeshift root cellar as well.

Just make sure that it is a cooler space with plenty of ventilation or you will find that your produce will spoil quickly You will have a ready supply of fresh produce all winter long if you play your cards right.

4) Share your garden space. Neighbors can be good for your garden. You can share plants and learn from each other. You might even get to know a few neighbors you didn’t know existed. You may even end up with a garden full of new friends.

5) Buying locally grown food means that you know where your food comes from. It also means that you won’t be contributing to the pollution problem that comes along with mass production.
